Mailing Lists tor-relays

Hi,
hi made a new Proxmox server for my home network. I still run a bare metal Tor bridge, but now i would run more bridge in my home network.

I have a public dynamic IP: what is the max number of bridge i can run (obviously on different ORPort) under the same IP address

Thanks in advance,

From the Tor Relay Guide:

"Note: You can only run two Tor relays per public IPv4 address. If you
want to run more than two relays you will need more IPv4 addresses."

Maybe you want to run a standalone Snowflake proxy?

Thanks in advance,

Too bad, so no more than two bridge on my singe ip.

But...

Maybe you want to run a standalone Snowflake
proxy?Tor Project | Snowflake

From the Tor Relay Guide:

“Note: You can only run two Tor relays per public IPv4 address. If you
want to run more than two relays you will need more IPv4 addresses.”
https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/

Why was it decided to allow only two relays per IP address?

Is there a technical reason?

Oh and the sentence on the website: “There should be no problem at all with this requirement (all commercially available servers come with at least one IPv4 address).” is not true anymore.

An increasing amount of provider these days only give you IPv6 (or you pay much more for only one IPv4).
